SELF-IGNITING ATTACHMENT FOR GAS-BURNERS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 676,174, dated June 11, 1901. Application filed January 25,1901. Serial 110344343. (Nomodeh) T aZZ whom, it 111,007 concern.-

Be it known that I, RICHARD BEEsE, a subject of the King of Saxony, residing at 13 Gluckstrasse, Dresden, Kingdom'of Saxony, German Empire, have invented a new and useful Self-Igniting Attachment for-Gas Burners, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention consists of a new and improved self -igniting attachment for gasburners, of which the following description forms the specification.

The accompanying drawing illustrates a vertical sectional view of an automatic selfigniter embodying my invention.

The invention consists of a tube 0, having its lower end obliquely passing through a slot cl, formed in the wall of a Bunsen burner mounted on a gas-pillar a, and which lower endf of tube 0 when no flame is burning projects partially over gas-channels formed in the said pillar. This tube 0 is mounted by a 7 suitable clamp Z on an actuating compound the gas-pillar, to bend and assume approximately the position shown in dotted lines in the drawing and carry with it tube 0, so that its lower end f is withdrawn, as also indicated by dotted lines, from over the gas-pillar channels and the flow of gas therethrough conseqnently. checked. igniter pipe or passage is thereby automatically cut off after the gas at the main burner hasbeen ignited. Afterhavingextinguished thesmall flame the bimetallic plate remains deviated by the radiation of the main flame. When the main light is turned off, plate It, rapidly cooling, restores tube 0 to its original position in readiness for its next operation.

Having now described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to protect by Letters Patent, isv A new and improved self-igniter for gasburners consisting of a tube having its end partially projecting over a gas-pillar, a selfignitingmass in the upper end of said tube, adjacent to the burner and an actuating metallic plate carrying said tube and adapted when subjected to the heat of said flame to so move as to withdraw said tubes end from above said pillarfor the purpose of cutting oif the flow of gas then passing therethrough and over said mass substantially as described;
